Memories & Candles

Harry, Dense and familyDuring your time of sorrow may the words of Jesus bring you comfort. Please read in your Bible John chapter 11 there he demonstrates that our loved ones like April can live again, and he promises this will happen when he says at John 5:28-29 the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out. My heartfelt wish is that this message of hope brings the family peace.

To Harry and Family...
I'm at a loss for words since hearing about April's passing. When my dear friend (your mother Virginia) called to tell me your heartbreaking news, I was stunned. Harry, if your Godfather (my beloved husband Edik) were here, he would have felt terribly sad for you and all the Lucas family.
The sadness I've felt since losing my husband of 48 years on July 16th seems even sadder since you lost your young, beautiful daughter April in

The sadness I've felt since losing my husband of 48 years on July 16th seems even sadder since you lost your young, beautiful daughter April in November. Only God knows why tragedies happen...my thoughts and prayers have been with your family each day.
Sending love and deepest condolences,

Harry and Family, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your sweet beautiful daughter. Kelly and I are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.

Your Friend and Co-worker,

April, I still can't believe it is true that you have gone on to Heaven so soon. God must have missed having you near, as much as we will now! We will never forget our beautiful, smart, loving April. Rest in Peace.

April, we have spent from 5th grade until grad school together. The impact you made on me is indescribable. I am so sorry I could not find the strength to talk about you today at your service. There is just so much that I would want to say and I probably could not made it all the way through. Please forgive me.

April, we have spent from 5th grade until grad school together. The impact you made on me is indescribable. I am so sorry I could not find the strength to talk about you today at your service. There is just so much that I would want to say and I probably could not made it all the way through. Please forgive me. The only thing that keeps me going is thinking about the times we had together and everything you have taught me. Our friendship started with daily trips to the pool, Matt's trampoline, and eating stale candy from Sav-Mor. It then progressed to dealing with boys, going to local concerts, and doing dance together. I remember the day we drove to CMU for orientation and how those guys tried to recruit us to join the army. I remember the first day we moved up, we got piercings to signify independence and of course, pizza, since you always had an appetite. Throughout our undergrad, we ventured out and saw each other whenever we could. In the end, you told me to apply to grad school with you... and then there we were, sitting in class, learning, and eating candy since you always had that on you. We spent nearly everyday together and even though it was spent studying and talking about life, I would not change it for the world. You were always there for me and I hope that I had made an impact on you. I seriously don't know what I'm going to do without you but everything I do, including this program you dragged me into haha, I will do it all for you. I miss you so much that it brings me to tears but you have taught me to live life to the fullest and never regret. I love you so much and am so lucky to have the most beautiful angel looking over me.

Denise, We're so very sorry to hear about the passing of your daughter. Her beautiful smile and your memories of her will help you through this. Find strength in your family and friends, they are there for you. You and your family are in our thoughts. Take care.
